Year 4 Weekly Update for week beginning 31.10.16

What a fantastic half term we’ve had. The children have worked so hard and have really enjoyed themselves. What a fantastic year group they are! Here’s what’s happening in the week after half term:-

History: Researching Tudor crime and punishment.

Half Term Homework: The children have been given a sheet about a project on Tudor Food. This is due in on the 4th November so there should be plenty of time to complete it if you are going away at half term. There will be no literacy and numeracy homework given over half term. Please see the blog for more information and web links.

Numeracy: We will be looking at 2d and 3d shapes.  Towards the end of the week we will be looking at  sequencing numbers.

Literacy: Information texts using the research we will be doing in class on crime and punishment in Tudor times.

Parents’ Appointments: Thank you for your time in coming to see us. We found it very positive and useful. Please see us or contact us anytime should you have any further queries.

Swimming: After half term the swimming pool will be closed. These lessons will be replaced with Outdoor PE, and Yoga. Please ensure the children have the correct kit.   Jade, who is a qualified Yoga teacher, will be working with Mrs Dowding’s and Miss Dyke’s classes through the rest of the term to explore mindful movement.  We are looking forward to this opportunity. Mrs Karia’s class will have the same opportunity in the Spring term.

PEN: The children will ALL be writing in pen after half term. We have a store of pens but the children are encouraged to bring in their own. They will need a BLUE ink or roller ball pen (no biros). Friction pens have been popular in the past with children as they have erasable ink.  Please name the pen with a label.

Enjoy your half term!
